FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, a wireless charging module 1 of the present embodiment is applied for wireless charging technology. The wireless charging module 1 of the present disclosure can be used for a charging device of a charging end (i.e., a transmitting end) or an electronic device of an end to be charged (i.e., a receiving end), and the wireless charging module 1 of the charging device delivers energy to the wireless charging module 1 of the electronic device through inductive coupling to charge the electronic device.

The wireless charging module 1 comprises a magnetic shield part 11, a coil 13 and a first heat dissipating layer 15. The coil 13 has a first surface 131 and a second surface 133 opposite to the first surface 131. The magnetic shield part 11 is disposed on the first surface 131 of the coil 13, the first heat dissipating layer 15 is disposed on the second surface 133 of the coil 13, and the second surface 133 is away from the magnetic shield part 11. In the embodiment, the first heat dissipating layer 15 can be completely attached to the second surface 133 of the coil 13, and the first heat dissipating layer 15 having fine radiation heat dissipation capability is able to provide effective heat dissipation for the coil 13. In the present embodiment, the thermal conductivity coefficient of the first heat dissipating layer is between 0.5 to 2000 W/m·K and the radiation coefficient of the first heat dissipating layer is between 0.90 and 0.95. In some embodiment, the thermal conductivity coefficient of the first heat dissipating layer is between 50 to 2000 W/m·K. In addition, the thickness of the first heat dissipating layer 15 affects the overall thickness and heat dissipation of the wireless charging module 1, and the thickness of the first heat dissipating layer 15 can be adjusted according to the requirements of the user. In the present embodiment, the first heat dissipating layer 15 has a thickness of 5 to 20 um.

The coil 13 is generally made of copper, and the coil 13 is flat wound and attached to the surface of the magnetic shield part 11. In addition, the magnetic shield part 11 can be a hard magnetic plate and a soft magnetic plate. The hard magnetic plate is a ferrite sheet sintered at a high temperature, has a high magnetic permeability, and is suitable for the emitting end. The manufacture of the soft magnetic plate starts with adding the alloy magnetic powder to the plastic or rubber and is followed by a forming processing. The soft magnetic plate can be punched into desired shapes and sizes according to the wireless charging schemes and can be customized according to user requirements. The soft magnetic plate is suitable for the receiving end. Moreover, the coil 13 and the magnetic shield part 11 are bonded to each other by the first adhesive member 17. The first adhesive member 17 is a double-sided tape 171 in the present embodiment.

Refer to FIG. 2 together with FIG. 1, which is a manufacturing flow chart of the first embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, in the embodiment of the manufacturing method of the wireless charging module, the step S1 is first performed to form a first heat dissipating layer 15 on the surface of the coil 13, wherein the first heat dissipating layer 15 is formed on the coil 13 by spraying, coating, or physical vapor deposition (PVD), so that the first heat dissipating layer 15 can be completely attached to the coil 13. In some embodiment, the first heat dissipating layer 15 is formed on the coil 13 by evaporation or sputtering. The step S3 is then performed to secure the magnetic shield part 11 to the surface of the coil 13 away from the first heat dissipating layer 15, wherein the first adhesive member 17 is formed on the surface of the coil 13 away from the first heat dissipating layer 15, and the magnetic shield part 11 is attached to the first adhesive member 17.

A wireless charging module 1 is provided in the present embodiment, which can be used for a charging end (i.e., a transmitting end) and an end to be charged (i.e., a receiving end). The wireless charging module 1 can perform conductive heat dissipation by attaching the heat dissipating layer 15 to the surface of the coil 13. As a result, when the wireless charging module 1 of the present embodiment operates, the thermal energy generated by the coil 13 can be dissipated from the first heat dissipating layer 15 to the outside to prevent the heat energy generated by the coil 13 from accumulating in the wireless charging module 1. The external heat transfer efficiency of the coil 13 is therefore improved. By applying the first heat dissipating layer 15 as described above, there is a 7.5% temperature drop of the wireless charging module 1.

Refer to FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the wireless charging module of the second embodiment further comprises a second heat dissipating layer 19. The second heat dissipating layer 19 is disposed on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13, that is, the second heat dissipating layer 19 and the coil 13 are respectively located on opposite sides of the magnetic shield part 11. The second heat dissipating layer 19 is a heat dissipating component, e.g. heat sink or a heat dissipating fin, made of metal materials with excellent thermal conductivity such as copper or silver. The second heat dissipating layer 19 is bonded to the magnetic shield part 11 by a second adhesive member 21 to secure the second heat dissipating layer 19 onto the magnetic shield part 11. In the embodiment, the second adhesive member 21 is a double-sided tape 211. In the present embodiment, the second heat dissipating layer 19 onto one side surface of the magnetic shield part 11 helps the heat of the magnetic shield part 11 from the coil 13 to dissipate from the second heat dissipating layer 19 to the outside. The thermal energy generated by the wireless charging module 1 of the present embodiment can be conducted from the first heat dissipating layer 15 to the outside, and can also be conducted from the second heat dissipating layer 19 to the outside at the same time, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation.

Refer to FIG. 4 together with FIG. 3, which is a manufacturing flow chart of the second embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the steps S1 and S3 are first performed as FIG. 2. After the step S3 is performed, a step S31 of the second embodiment is performed to form a second heat dissipating layer 19 on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13. In the embodiment, the second heat dissipating layer 19 is disposed on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13 by the second adhesive member 21. In other words, the second adhesive member 21 is formed on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13, and the second heat dissipating layer 19 is attached to the second adhesive member 21.

Refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of the third embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the wireless charging module of the third embodiment further comprises a second heat dissipating layer 23. The second heat dissipating layer 23 is disposed on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13. The material and the functional effects of the second heat dissipating layer 23 are the same as those of the first heat dissipating layer 15, and therefore will not be described again. The present embodiment differs from the second embodiment, in that the second adhesive member 21 is omitted, and the heat of the magnetic shield part 11 is more effectively dissipated by the second heat dissipating layer 23 directly contacting the magnetic shield part 11.

Refer to FIG. 6 together with FIG. 5, which is a manufacturing flow chart of the third embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, in the present embodiment, the steps S1 and S3 are the same as the aforementioned description, a step S33 of the third embodiment is further performed after the step S3 to form a second heat dissipating layer 19 on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13, where the second heat dissipating layer 23 is disposed on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13 by spraying, coating, or physical vapor deposition. In some embodiment, the second heat dissipating layer 23 is disposed on the surface of the magnetic shield part 11 away from the coil 13 by evaporation or sputtering.

Refer to FIG. 7, which is a schematic diagram of a schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the difference between the present embodiment and the first embodiment is that the first adhesive member 17 of the fourth embodiment is a thermal conductive film 173 or a thermal paste. In the embodiment, the thermal paste is made of a thermosetting reactive thermal paste material such as moisture curing type thermal silicone, and the above thermal conductive film 173 has the same effect as the thermal paste. Therefore, the thermal conductive film 173 will be described as example in the present embodiment. The magnetic isolation member 11 is bonded to the coil 13 by the thermal conductive film 173. The first adhesive member 17 is a non-solid material that can be applied to the gap of the non-flat surface of the coil 13 to reduce the gap between the magnetic shield part 11, the coil 13 and the first adhesive member 17. In other words, the gap can be filled by the first adhesive member 17, and therefore there is no gap existing between the magnetic shield part 11 and the coil 13 creating an excellent thermal conductivity interface and reducing the interface thermal resistance by prevent air having a low thermal conductivity from being filled in the gap, which lowers the thermal conductivity between magnetic shield part 11, the coil 13 and the first adhesive member 17. Moreover, the thermosetting reactive thermal paste possesses high adhesion, high resistance to high and low temperature, and excellent reliability. In addition to reinforcing the structural connection between the magnetic shield part 11 and the coil 13, the first adhesive member 17 also forms an excellent thermal interface between the magnetic shield part 11 and the coil 13, where the thermal conductive film 173 disposed in between the magnetic isolation member 11 and the coil 13 is used for heat dissipation, resulting an approximate 8% temperature reduction in average temperature of the coil 13. In the present embodiment, on one surface of the coil 13 is provided with a first heat dissipating layer 15 and on the other surface is provided with a second heat dissipating layer 19. The heat dissipating of the coil 13 by the two dissipating layers has an advantage of achieving a 14.7% temperature reduction, so that the average temperature of the coil 13 drops significantly by a 2 to 4° C.

Refer to FIG. 8, which is a schematic diagram of the fifth embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the difference between the present embodiment and the second embodiment is that the first adhesive member 17 of the embodiment is a thermal conductive film 173 having the same effect as that of the fourth embodiment, which is advantageous for the coil 13 for heat dissipating. Therefore, detailed description of the present embodiment will not be repeated. The effect of the heat dissipating of the present embodiment exceeds that of the second embodiment.

Refer to FIG. 9, which is a schematic diagram of the sixth embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the difference between the present embodiment and the fifth embodiment is that the second adhesive member 21 of the embodiment is a thermal conductive film 213 or a thermal paste having the same effect as that of the fourth embodiment. Therefore, detailed description of the present embodiment will not be repeated. The thermal conductive film 213 facilitates the connection and the heat dissipation of the magnetic separating part 11 and the second heat dissipating layer 19. The effect of the heat dissipating of the present embodiment exceeds that of the fifth embodiment.

Refer to FIG. 10, which is a schematic diagram of the seventh embodiment of the wireless charging module of the present disclosure. As shown in the figure, the difference between the present embodiment and the third embodiment is that the first adhesive member 17 of the embodiment is a thermal conductive film 173 having the same effect as that of the fourth embodiment, which is advantageous for the coil 13 for heat dissipating. Therefore, detailed description of the present embodiment will not be repeated. The effect of the heat dissipating of the present embodiment exceeds that of the third embodiment.

The present disclosure further provides an electronic device in which a wireless charging module 1 is disposed for the function of charging with another wireless charging module 1 of another electronic device. The wireless charging module 1 of another electronic device delivers energy to the wireless charging module 1 of the electronic device through inductive coupling to conduct charging.

In summary, the present disclosure discloses a wireless charging module and manufacturing method thereof. The heat conduction and dissipation of the wireless charging module are directly conducted by the first heat dissipating layer attaching to the surface of the coil, and the first heat dissipating layer is capable of providing an effective heat dissipation to the coil. The first adhesive member between the magnetic shield part and the coil is a thermal conductive film, which not only secures the magnetic shield part onto the coil, but also forms an excellent thermal interface between the magnetic shield part and the coil, so that heat can be dissipated from one side of the coil by the first heat dissipating layer and from the other side of the coil by the first adhesive member and the magnetic shield part, thereby the heat dissipation of the wireless charging module is effectively improved. The wireless charging module of the present disclosure further comprises a second heat dissipating layer disposed on a surface of the magnetic shield part away from the coil, and the second heat dissipating layer is capable of enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency of the magnetic shield part.
